In the July 15 "Movies," Dana Stevens misidentified Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as the ante-antepenultimate movie in the Harry Potter series. It is the antepenultimate movie.

In the July 13 "Prescriptions," Timothy Noah erroneously stated that Amgen is headquartered in Massachusetts; it is headquartered in Thousand Oaks, Calif. He also misstated the vote tally of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions on a proposal offered by Sen. Sherrod Brown concerning the regulation of "biologics." The proposal failed 5-17, not 5-7.

In the July 10 "Explainer," Christopher Beam incorrectly stated that English "grew out of" Latin. It was influenced by Latin but is a Germanic language. He also mistakenly described a dieresis as an umlaut.
